Looks like this is becoming a habit for "Lexi sexy666", or Chantelle666 (obviously she thinks she's a little devil...), as she called herself back in January, when she pulled exactly the same piece of thieving over in Hammersmith, using the same mobile number:

Highlighting this for all newbies, as if you'd done the same, you'd have found she'd done this before, for exactly the same amount and at a similar time in the morning, and saved yourself £40.
Sorry to hear she scammed you MK3, but as others have said, NEVER, EVER pay an SP a deposit. Lesson #1.
There are too many out there to do it, and the ones that do are often not going to turn up, as has been reported here too many times to mention.
Lesson learned, but at least it wasn't for the full amount.
Thank you for telling us about her and warning the rest of the community, it's not easy to admit you've been scammed.
